First off, sorry if this is not the right place to ask this and sorry if this has been asked before. I have my own domain and I want to start a blog with it. But I am super confused on where/how to start. I definitely want to just use wordpress.org so that I can eventually sell ads. Not really sure where or how to get that started. I tried (kinda) to use Bluehost and Dreamhost as mentioned on the website but both of them left me endlessly confused. Is there a basic guide on how to do this? Or should I host it myself by installing everything? I assume that would be more difficult to setup but I'd be willing to give it a go if it was the best option in the long run. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!
